| Description: | MARIAN ANDERSON performs at the Civil Rights March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom Marchers cooling their heels in the water of the reflecting pool, Washington Monument in background. Loudspeaker introduces MARIAN ANDERSON to sing, shot of Anderson taking podium. Crowds claping. Men sitting in a tree. C/U of ANDERSON introducing a spiritual, VERY POOR SYNCHRONIZATION of soundtrack is unfortunate. Sings "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands". The performance is dramatic, although it's clear that Anderson's range has been diminished by age. Pan up to show statue of Lincoln behind Anderson, shots of marchers listening. | |
